Destination Details

Khao Sok National Park is a nature reserve in southern Thailand containing dense virgin jungle, towerlike limestone karst formations and the man-made Cheow Lan Lake. It’s home to rare species such as the giant parasitic Rafflesia flower, hornbill birds, gibbons and tigers. The park can be explored by elephant-back safari, hiking trail, and raft, canoe or kayak via the Sok river.

The Sok river and its tributaries feed into waterfalls such as the stepped, rafting-friendly Bang Hua Rat and gently sloping Tharn Sawan. The waterway makes its way back to Cheow Lan Lake and Ratchaprapha Dam, where overnight visitors can rent rustic bamboo huts, treehouses, tent campsites or floating bungalows around the edge of the lake. Longtail boat rides on the lake pass small islands, karsts and caves, including the stalactite- and stalagmite-studded Nam Talu complex.
